You're comparing apples and oranges. Windows (and XP especially) and Linux, or OS X. What you have to compare is font-rendering on the same platform for embedded vs native (installed) fonts. Font-rendering on XP always looks poop in my book. And just for fun, try viewing some Japanese pages on XP. I get headaches just to think about it (the default Jpn fonts on XP are actually bitmaps, so 1985, and only look good a t 24px or bigger). > I have take four screenshots of two websites to illustrate the > problem: http://roughtech.com/t/rendering.html The font used by David Laakso looks pretty decent on XP (it did so on my side when we were working on that site), the other one is indeed a real deal breaker - that confirms what I heard about those Google hosted fonts.
